boost::recursive_mutex::scoped_lock is crashing with some unknown exception in its destructor, no matter whether the lock is locked or not. Has anyone else experienced this problem and possibly have a solution?

Nope. Several questions for you. What compiler/platform? Have you run the regression tests in $BOOST_ROOT/libs/thread/test? Does the regression test produce the same exceptions?

Win2k with Metrowerks CodeWarrior 7. I ran the regression test, which reported "no errors detected".

I don't have access to Metrowerks, so it's going to be difficult for me to determine if this is a compiler specific issue. However, if the regression tests pass, it's not likely. Can you reduce the code to a short example that reproduces the issue?

There is no requirement that the mutex be used in a boost thread is there? I'm using CodeWarrior to build this library, but my final application is run by Sun's JRE 1.4.0 and also contains some legacy Visual C++ code. The mutex is used on a Java thread (which maps to a native Windows thread).

No, there's no requirement that the mutex be used in a boost thread. This trouble report surprises me, and I hope that together we can discover what the issue is. We'll have to find a reproducable example to do so, however. Bill Kempf
